When you're down and troubled and you need some loving care
And nothin' oh nothin' is goin' right
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter spring summer or fall all you've gotta do is call and I'll be there

You've got a friend
If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
Soon I'll be knockin' at your door
You just call out my name

Oh ain't it good to know that you've got a friend when people can be so cold
They'll hurt you desert you and take your soul if you let them
But don't you let them
Oh you just call out my name
You've got a friend you've got a friend
And ain't it good to know that you've got one you've got a friend
